Must be a plot of Professor Tomoe! Voice Artists May Go On Strike!
The Canadian Voice Artists belong to a performer's union called
ACTRA which may go on strike for better pay and benefits against all
companies. The disagreement almost entirely concerns live action but would
also affect dubbing (animation). A strike would affect ALL animated series
& OAVs which are dubbed in Canada.
Such an action would not really be a strike by the Voice Artists against
Pioneer. But the Voice Artists would not be allowed to go back to work
until such a strike would be settled (or, in the unlikely event that
Pioneer comes to a separate agreement with the union). Further, only a
prolonged strike would affect the dubbing of the "Sailormoon" features.
ACTRA may call for a strike as soon as "Canada Day" (bet you U.S.
citizens knew your Canadian Holidays now) ! But even
if called, a strike is not expected to last over a month (which should not
affect "Sailormoon"). The actual dubbing of the features could be
scheduled for later this Summer with the release unaffected for the Holiday
Season.
However, you never know.....
Special thanks to Jason Huhn for being
the first to alert us of this situation.

little Japanese thrown in) to start appearing in your local music stores!

it you should move to another town OR it might be simpler to ask your local
store to order it for you! With any luck, there should be more information

Send In Those Ballots Now! Write-In Nominations Due Wednesday, June 16!
Recently, the gaming industry's highest award, the Origins Awards (presented by the Game Manufacturers Association
[GAMA]), announced the five nominations for last year's best Roleplaying Game. Surprisingly, the "Sailor Moon" RPG wasn't
even nominated! Fans who know their games (and know how good this one in particular is) are encouraged to send in a
write-in vote.
Please visit the GAMA site and printout a ballot.
Near the end of the ballot, under "Best Roleplaying Game" there is a space for a write-in title. Please write in: "Sailor
Moon RPG and Resource Book." Where it asks for "Manufacturer," please write in: "Guardians Of Order." You'll be glad you
did! (We want to encourage others within the roleplaying world to try this game and in the process discover "Sailormoon.")
Directions for mailing are on the printout.

Last Call For Sumo Senshi Caption Contest!
Yeow! How would you caption this? Exactly! That's what's behind our Caption Contest! Make sure to visit our original story behind this event before entering the contest! Remember, you can only enter once from each email address that you might have. Only the first email entry from an address will be considered. So make your first one count! We won't post any of the entries until the contest is over--so there'll be no improving upon someone else's entry. And easy on the fat jokes, okay? We're not holding this contest to make fun of some of our weight-challenged friends. In Japan, sumos are revered for their huge girth--which is one of the reasons why wrestlers can have so much fun with events such as these. |
It's a bird!
It's a plane!
It's..... Sailor Mars?!
